Find LCD: To combine the two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The denominators here are 3 and 4, so the least common denominator (LCD) is 12.
Adjust fractions: Now we need to adjust each fraction so that they both have the denominator of 12. To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 4 and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 3.
Simplify fractions: After adjusting the fractions, we have:(2x+3)/3×4/4+(x−4)/4×3/3This simplifies to:(8x+12)/12+(3x−12)/12
Add numerators: Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add the numerators together:(8x+12)+(3x−12)=8x+12+3x−12
Combine like terms: Combine like terms in the numerator: 8x+3x+12−12=11x
Final fraction: The final single fraction is: 1211x
